I don't see how to do it.
I had to telnet into a firewall and run a trace, and I had to stop it, copy and paste to gedit, then start again, etc.
I find it interesting, and sad, that there is no easy 'output to file' profile setting.
man script
That saves the whole session and is sometimes useful. But, usually with command line programs you would just redirect the individual command's output to a file with '> filename' on the command line, or pipe through tee '|tee filename' if you want to see it at the same time.
I use that a lot, but it doesn't work for telnet.
Also, the terminal windows have a fairly big scroll-back buffer which you can increase with edit/profile so if you do decide to copy something after it happens you don't have to stop while it is still showing.
This last case it was ~4000 lines worth, the default is 500. And I did not know it was that much until I started dealing with the debug dump.
